Imagine the next EliteXC event on CBS, and Dana rolls out a better card the same time and day to compete without even breaking a sweat.

ESPN would be out because of the non-compete clause UFC has with Spike. UFC can only expand to either a pay TV station (HBO / Showtime) or a network station. Pramit / Sven - thanks.. appreciate it..

In addition, it's always good to be precise about where information is taken, that isn't only true when composing a academic thesis.
